2928 Delano Drive

The Bagnal-Nettles Influence

This 1941 home was built by the Bagnal-Nettles Builders Supply Company for Edmund Cason Bunker, Jr. (1915—1999), and his wife, Katherine Gooding Bunker (1919—2000). The house is notable for its Art Deco-influenced shed-roof entrance. Bagnal-Nettles was prolific in Forest Hills, constructing at least thirteen houses in the neighborhood. In leading the second phase of Forest Hills' development, the firm administered a transformation from the original naturalistic vision of the development to one more defined by the houses within it.
